Chapter 715: Tooth for Tooth
Zhang Juexia was speechless!
Young masters from wealthy families are just so willful!
But this did pose a problem for her. How should she deal with this matter?
For them, reporting to the police is the best solution.
After careful consideration, Zhang Juexia asked Ye Beixiu, "Where are the two people Li Qi planted now?"
“They were all confined to the woodshed in the shop and confessed.
Madam, do you want to report to the police?
If this matter is not handled properly, I am worried that others will follow suit. However, should we also consider Yingyue's side?"
"Did he ever consider Yingyue when he did this?
Then why don't we fight back in kind!"
Ye Beixiu looked at Zhang Juexia approvingly, "Madam, do you have any good ideas?"
"Let me ask you, are there any difficulties at home for those two people?"
Before Ye Beixiu could reply, Li Le spoke first, "My friend has a grandmother who has to take medicine all year round, and they depend on each other for survival.
The one who works as a handyman in the kitchen, whose father is also a chef, Li Qi promised him that after he finishes this task, he will be made the manager.
"The one about taking medicine is easy to deal with. Just let Uncle Liu take a good look at the old man.
But the one who works in the kitchen, let me think...”
The room suddenly became quiet, with only the howling north wind outside.
"Li Le, why don't you ask someone to find out right now if Li Qi has decided on a manager for his new shop?"
Li Le quickly stood up and said, "I'll go right away."
"Dress warmly. It sounds windy outside. I'm afraid it's going to snow."
Li Le felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard Zhang Juexia care about him so much.
It was his negligence that caused so much trouble to everyone, but the boss still cared about him as always.
As Cui'er said, they have no way to repay, the only thing they can do is to do their job well.
"Boss, don't worry, I'll find out right away."
Ye Beixiu sent Li Le to the door and said, "Li Le, even if you find out everything, don't come back tonight.
Come back tomorrow morning. Those two will be locked up in the woodshed overnight, so nothing will happen to them."
After Li Le walked away, Ye Beixiu slowly returned to the house.
Zhang Juexia then remembered, "Have you eaten anything?"
"We had a simple meal in the shop. My lady, let's take a rest. It's very cold outside."
"Um."
Because they had something on their minds, Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu did not sleep well that night.
Just after they finished breakfast, Li Le came in hurriedly, "Boss, I found out that the manager of the Li family shop kitchen is someone else.
I heard he was the cousin of Li Qi's maidservant."
"Great, Li Le told the man locked in the kitchen about this."
"I'll do it right away."
Zhang Juexia stopped Li Le and said, "I'll go with you."
"Boss, it's snowing outside, how about you?"
"I'll just be more careful."
Seeing that Zhang Juexia insisted on going, Ye Beixiu did not stop her. He went into the house and got her a thick cloak, wrapping her tightly.
Lin Yuan had already prepared the carriage. Ye Beixiu looked at the bleached ground and said, "Let me drive!"
After the carriage stopped at the hot pot shop, Ye Beixiu carefully helped her into the yard.
After Zhang Juexia sat down, Li Le asked, "I'll go get Zheng Yan."
Zheng Yan was brought here, and Ye Beixiu kicked him to his knees.
In fact, from the first day Zheng Yan entered Suibian Hotpot, he already knew that this would be his fate sooner or later.
But he did not regret it. He felt that even if he was sent to the authorities, it would just be a formality.
The Li family also has the ability to rescue him from prison.
Even though he was locked up in the woodshed all night yesterday, he was still certain that he would be rescued by Li Qi and then become a kitchen manager in Li's shop.
People go to high places, and water flows to low places.
His father worked as a chef all his life, but he never became a manager.
He will definitely surpass his father and become not only a good chef but also a manager.
He raised his head stubbornly and looked at Zhang Juexia proudly, "I have confessed everything I should confess. You can kill me or shave me as you please."
Zhang Juexia deliberately clapped his hands, "He's really a real man, no wonder he was able to hide here for so long.
I ask you, do you know what day it is today?"
Zheng Huo glanced at Zhang Juexia with disdain, "She's just a juren's wife, what's there to be proud of?
There are many officials in my master's family.
You asked me and I answered, why? "
Li Le couldn't stand it any longer and kicked Zheng Huo down. "It's already this time, and you're still being stubborn."
Zhang Juexia signaled to Li Le, "We can't use violence. We need to reason with them and appeal to their emotions."
"A wife of a military scholar, why would she pretend to be a scholar?"
"You keep calling them juren, and I see you look down on them. So let me ask you, if you were to take the imperial examination, whether it's juren or military juren, would you be able to pass?"
"I'm just a cook, what's the point of taking the exam for the God of Honor?"
“Everyone says that fame and status are useless, yet some people study for it until they are in their seventies or eighties.
Your name is Zheng Yan, right?
What I want to say is that it’s not that you don’t want to take the exam, but that you can’t pass it, so you found such a disdainful excuse.
I can proudly tell you that my husband was still a hunter at this time last year, but this year he has become a juren.
I don't need to tell you about the benefits of being a juren. You can be exempted from taxes and labor service, and you can become an official if you want.
So, no matter what you say, I feel that being the wife of a successful candidate is something I am very proud of.”
After a few words from Zhang Juexia, Zheng Yan no longer stiffened his neck, and at least he looked more comfortable.
However, Zhang Juexia decided to teach him a lesson for his rudeness just now.
"I remember when you came in just now, you said you could kill or shave as you pleased, right?"
She stood up and said to Ye Beixiu, "My husband, I am a martial arts scholar after all. How can I let a cook look down on me?"
Ye Beixiu protected Zhang Juexia behind him, "My wife, I have disliked him for a long time. Given your husband's current status and position, crushing him to death is like crushing an ant.
My lady, tell me, how do you want him to die?"
"Of course, I'm asking this brave man."
Zheng Yan was scared.
He no longer had the disdain and rudeness he had just had, and his heart was filled with fear. "Master Ye, Madam Ye, I was wrong. I was blind and stupid."
"No, our Zheng Yongshi was very impressive just now.
My husband, what do you think will happen to Li Qi if we kill him today?"
Ye Beixiu snorted coldly, "Li Qi is the eldest son of the Li family. He is very proud now, how could he be distracted by a cook?
Li Le, please tell our Zheng Yongshi who Li Qi appointed as the kitchen manager for his newly opened hot pot restaurant.
"Zheng Yan, listen carefully.
The kitchen manager of the Li family hot pot shop is the cousin of Li Qi's most favored maid.
